My girlfriend and I had sex on the 20th of February just after her periods. did not use a condom and did not cum inside her either. her periods are never usually regular but she was almost a week late this time. two negative pregnancy tests and no symptoms.however she says her periods are different this time and are lighter and discontinuous.should I be worried? Please reply soon as we cant afford a pregnancy as she isnt medically fit
Brief Answer:
Not pregnant.
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for trusting us with your health concern.
Since her two pregnancy tests are negative the pregnancy is ruled out. Also you had sex during the infertile tie of her cycle.
The comparatively lighter period that she is having can be due to stress; anxiety; hormonal changes; changes in diet exercise and environent. This is not suggestive of pregnancy.
So you need not worry.
Please feel free to discuss further. I will be glad to answer the follow up queries that you have.
Wishing you good health.
Regards.
